"Hmm..."

Xicheng looked at the human face in the mirror and had some understanding of the effect of this human skin mask.

It changes shape under the manipulation of dead air, and it fits perfectly to the face, so that there is no gap at all.

Honestly, wearing this human skin mask... It's not so much a human skin mask as it is a 'living' lump of flesh.

It's just that the shape of this lump of meat is controlled by himself.

There is a kind of meaning of playing games and pinching your face.

Thanks to Rina Asakawa having an exam today, otherwise she would have to be scared to the point of shock on the spot when she saw the twisted and wriggling of the flesh on her face.

After all, Rina Asakawa is very afraid of gods and ghosts.

"I see."

Nishigi probably understands the principle of this mask.

I have to say, this is indeed a good thing.

In the future, if you need to cover up your identity, you can solve it by wearing this mask.

Thinking about it, Nishiro put aside the human skin mask and took the information provided by Ryoko Okano about the couple's suicide and martyrdom.

First, let's sort it out roughly.

The gas suicide martyrdom incident occurred in the room of Kaneki's apartment in Setagaya Ward.

The date was October 12, 2019.

According to police speculation and a forensic autopsy, the incident was probably caused by Shibasakino and Yumi Yamaguchi taking sleeping pills, and then committing suicide by gas.

Almost a month later, Shibasakino's ex-girlfriend, Sayuri Nozawa, reported the crime.

said that the ghost of his deceased ex-boyfriend wailed in pain every day.

There is a little bit of this that makes the West Castle style a little concerned.

That was Sayuri Nozawa's nightmare.

A nightmare that doesn't know exactly what the content is.

"Sure enough, I still have to see Sayuri Nozawa, maybe I can get something out of her mouth."

With a deep groan, Xicheng put on his human skin mask and changed into clothes for going out.

Sayuri Nozawa lives in the Momiji apartment area of Nerima Ward.

It's an affordable area of bachelorette apartments, especially popular with unmarried single women like her.

It took me a little time to take the train to Nerima Ward, and then followed the map on my phone to the Momiji Apartment area.

Looking at the 'Nozawa' door number hanging in front of him, Nishigi-shiki reached out and pressed the doorbell.

With a monotonous electric ringing, the door to the apartment opened.

At the same time, Sayuri Nozawa's face also jumped into the sight of Nishijo.

It was a pale, haggard face, with heavy dark circles applied to the edges of the eyelids.

She was dressed in a miserable white interior suit, and looked warily through the crack in the door at the West Side style.

It can be seen that since that nightmare, Sayuri Nozawa's life has not been easy.

"That's... Who are you? ”

She asked in a soft voice.

"I'm the West Side sent by the police department to investigate the suicide martyrdom."

Nishijo introduced himself simply, and at the same time showed her the police ID card prepared by Yoshiko Okano.

The photos above are all freshly taken.

"Really? It's a police officer in Xicheng... Excuse me... Come in. ”

As soon as he got the news that Nishigi was a police officer, the vigilance on Sayuri Nozawa's face took off, and the whole showed a touch of joy.

She hurriedly turned sideways to make way for the West Side.

"Excuse me."

Xicheng Shi said hello and officially entered the room.

A bachelor apartment, as the name suggests, is an apartment room specially prepared for single men and women.

There is a living room inside, but it is not spacious.

"Please use tea."

As soon as Nishigi sat down, Sayuri Nozawa brought him tea.

This was so enthusiastic that Xicheng couldn't help but look at her more.

He had drunk his tea, and Sayuri Nozawa sat down over there, her eyes glancing at his face from time to time.

Feeling her gaze, Xicheng's eyebrows twitched, and he still asked:

“... Is there something on my face? ”

"No, no, there is no such thing."

Sayuri Nozawa waved her hand crampedly: "I just didn't expect it... The police officer who came to investigate this time turned out to be so handsome... I'm sorry. ”

After she said this, she couldn't help but look at Xicheng again.

It's normal for Sayuri Nozawa to feel handsome.

Because the face pinched out of the Xicheng style is the type that is calm and handsome.

In the modern 21st century, in the final analysis, it is actually a society that looks at faces.

has a handsome face, leaves a good impression, and is a little easier to do.

Although everyone says that the main thing is to look at the beauty of the soul...

Well... Everyone just knows this thing.

"I'm putting my face aside for now."

Nishigi looked at Sayuri Nozawa and said, "I'm here to help you, Miss Nozawa." ”

"Want to help me..."

It seems that this sentence touched Sayuri Nozawa.

She held the teacup in both hands, exhaled deeply, and then said, "Please rest assured, Officer Xicheng, I will cooperate with your work." ”

"Then I'll go straight in." Nishigi simply asked, "The nightmare that has been bothering Miss Nozawa lately... Don't know what kind of content it is? ”

Hearing Nishijo-shi's inquiry, Sayuri Nozawa's eyes filled with sadness.

"It was a particularly terrifying dream, in the dream, Shibasaki-kun's expression was resentful, his body was distorted, and he let out a very unwilling scream, he was telling me that someone had killed him..."

Twisted and wriggling images of wriggling spirits swirled in mind.

Sayuri Nozawa has a firm gaze:

"There must be a prisoner, someone killed Shibasaki-kun and disguised the scene as the scene of suicide by taking sleeping pills."

Her overly determined tone made Xicheng Shi can't help but look at her more.

Xicheng thought about it and asked:

"I heard that Ms. Nozawa broke up with Mr. Shibasakino in late September, right?"

"That's right." Sayuri Nozawa didn't shy away from answering.

"Shouldn't you hate Mr. Shibasaki, who abandoned himself and found a new love?"

Xicheng asked again.

Oh, yes.

It stands to reason that she should hate Shibasakino in particular.

After all, she is the object of Shibasakino's rebellion.

Why do you still want to catch the real culprit so much at this time?

"Hate... Maybe there used to be. ”

Sayuri Nozawa shook her head, "But I can't forgive the prisoner who let Shibasaki-kun suffer that kind of treatment. ”

Looking at Sayuri Nozawa's appearance, Nishigi fell into deep thought.

If you only look at the content of the dream, Shibasakino should have been killed.

But speculation cannot be based on an ethereal dream.

So other clues are needed.

He asked Sayuri Nozawa a few other questions, and when he found that the other party didn't know anything, he got up and took his leave.

"Now Sayuri Nozawa, the only witness, has also asked..."

Xicheng style self-talk.

To be honest, he didn't fully believe Sayuri Nozawa.

Because it was just a dream inference, Sayuri Nozawa had a good reason to attack Shibasakino, who had been abandoned from the beginning.

But if that's the case, why did she come to report it herself?

Isn't that a complete contradiction?

But to be suspicious is to be suspicious...

The whole thing... Also shrouded in fog.

Thinking about it, Nishijo called the attending doctor Shibasakino.

If Shibasakino really committed suicide by buying sleeping pills by himself.

Then his attending doctor should have kept a record of it.

After all, sleeping pills are prescription drugs, and even if there is a need, a doctor's certificate is required.

On the contrary, if it is really he who kills—

Shibasakino's attending doctor probably doesn't have any records of sleeping pills.
